As a high school geek, I always had a true love for mathematics. The only subject that came naturally. Very good memories.
Humpback whales are identified by the markings on their flukes ... or, what most people call the tail. This one clearly has a "P" and an "i" on its left fluke. The "i" even has a dot over it! So, this one is Pi ... or 3.14, if you like. :-) Or, as in the movie, Life of Pi, maybe it's short for Piscine and it's identifying with it's fishy cousins. Or, since it's most likely chasing after those tiny fish, capelin, here, maybe it's advertising that it's a Piscine eater ... or, Pi eater. :-) Sorry. :-) Or, maybe it's just telling us it went to 'school'. Ok. I'll stop now.
There were two of these whales here, but I wasn't quick enough to photograph the tail of the second one. They were spotted from the Apollo, the Newfoundland-Labrador ferry which runs from St. Barbe in Newfoundland to Blanc Sablon, Quebec. We were almost in the harbor of Blanc Sablon when they were spotted and, by the time I got outside on the deck to shoot them, they were quickly disappearing beneath the surface.
This is definitely not as good as some of the whale photos I have here on Flickr, but I decided to upload it because it might be of interest to anyone who studies whales.
Love & Mathematics
Some speak of a spark
Which ignites in the dark
When two people solve
The equation of love
But as the lights went on
Cover of darkness gone
I saw your true face
Reflected in my gaze
Fuzzy logic was applied
Our body language lied
Do I mind that nose?
Do you hate my clothes?
The laws of attraction
Do not care for perfection
As I entered your space
I thanked god the beer is so cheap in this place

Inside the Mathematics Institute at Oxford. We were privileged to be given a tour of this extraordinary building. Very Escher like in it's communications corridors - except they all go somewhere! Full of light which is channelled to the different floors via glass crystal shaped structures which give fabulous reflections. It is an amazing structure. What a place for some of the best brains to flourish!!!

Mathematics and art are related in a variety of ways. Mathematics has itself been described as an art motivated by beauty. Mathematics can be discerned in arts such as music, dance, painting, architecture, sculpture, and textiles. This article focuses, however, on mathematics in the visual arts.
Wooden bridge over the River Cam at Queens' College, Cambridge. Designed by William Etheridge in 1749 and made entirely of straight timber. The popular myth that it was designed by Sir Isaac Newton is untrue (he died 20 years before it was built!)
The striking interior of the Mathematical Institute in Oxford, reflected off the roof of the crystal like cafeteria. The maze of wooden staircases was like something from Harry Potter.

When i first saw this model two years ago at the C.D.O. convention I immediately fell in love with it, both for the mathematically and armonious aspects.When yesterday I found under my hands the cp for this I had to try it right away.Unfortunately I had only 35x35 cm EH, so I couldn't achieve the little,central pleats (some good,big sheets of elephant hide are almost on their way, so in less than two weeks I'll be able to get the completed model ;) ).I scored the paper using a specific scoring tool, the printed cp, a lightbulb and my "glass table".

Couple years ago I like made fractal images. I using variable free programs. Programs are gone but images is still in my computer.

One of the more famous crossings across the Cam, I'm not that big a fan of the Mathematical Bridge at Queens' College, but it did look nice in the fog here.
One thing I will add for those who haven't crossed it - it's steeper than it looks :)
Across an immaculate lawn we view the so-called Mathematical Bridge over the river Cam in Cambridge.
It was designed in 1748 by William Etheridge (1709–76), and built in 1749 by James Essex the Younger (1722–84). The bridge has subsequently been repaired in 1866 and rebuilt to the same design in 1905.
The red-brick building seen on the right is the President’s Lodge (ca. 1460), the oldest building on the river at Cambridge.
A punt is just drifting by with another batch of tourists!

I love patterns and I love colour -
and I love their derivation in
music and mathematics!
I can't tell you how happy I was to be in colours again when I was released from hospital. Here's a corner of my corners
moving slowly on (the "slow road", Paddy)... and hoping to go to Cirque du Soleil tomorrow...
Whilst a calculator may not be necessary for this level of high end mathematics, it does come in handy as a useful accessory.
And another bit of addition, the yellow and blue shirts equal the green shirts.
We're Here looks at Calculators and Calculating today.

As I walked through the produce section, I stopped in amazement when I spotted the broccoli romanesque. I knew immediately that it was an example in nature of a fractal pattern.
